Hello, No, the Intel version wont function as it should on a PowerPC. I don't see the Mac PowerPC version of OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 on the official download page http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#en-US but I use the last release candidate (RC4) on my old PPC Powerbook http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/3.0.0rc4/ look for the one that ends in PowerPC_install.dmg<http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/3.0.0rc4/OOo_3.0.0rc4_MacOSXPowerPC_install.dmg> http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/3.0.0rc4/OOo_3.0.0rc4_MacOSXPowerPC_install.dmg this version is equal to the official release, but apparently, there weren't enough people available to test the US_english version on Mac PowerPC or you can even be more up to date and download the milestone 12: http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/Dev_OOO300_m12/ and look again for the PowerPC_install.dmg: http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/Dev_OOO300_m12/OOo_Dev_OOO300_m12_MacOSXPowerPC_install.dmg HTH -- Guy using dutch OOo Aqua 3.0.0 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo Aqua 3.0.0 on an Intel MacBook Pro Leopard -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
